“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.” Have you ever known anyone who took good news, and somehow turned it into something bad? Have you seen someone take a tragic occurrence and yet found strength from it? Much of life is perspective 🧐 - Quote by Charles Swindoll

“The only incontrovertible fact of my work is the importance of life” While Elisabeth is frequently pigeonholed into a narrow range.

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself” Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross - Elisabeth could often hear more from patients from what they did not say versus what they said. She used all her senses especially her sixth sense. 👩🏻‍🦯

Elisabeth had a very zen approach to being frequently attacked and harassed by the media and medical professionals. Despite her unwavering support for dying patients and their families, her intentions were often distorted because of socialites inability to face death honestly. Elisabeth had her house burnt down twice, her credibility challenged but she never wavered from her mission of mission of challenging the way we perceive death and grief.

The Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation would like to present another variation of the Kübler-Ross Change Curve™️. The 5 Stages of Grief™️ are meant to be a loose framework to frame some of the many stages/feelings/emotions/phases that people experience in grief. Obviously grief is complex and often has more “stages” such as shock, partial denial, and anticipatory grief among others. This chart loosely illustrates how feelings of grief may circulate back and forth.
